I remember the old days when the only place to get a cup of coffee in Rico was the lobby of a lonely little hotel; I wish that this had existed when I used to go on bike rides to Rico from Telluride.

Didn’t have almond milk, didn’t have cup sleeves, $7 for a 12oz drink is absolutely criminal. The soda was $4.75! Image of receipt included as proof. Ridiculous!

This place has an earthy feel, a nice outdoor and dog friendly deck, and some dry goods for sale. It's not just worth a stop, it's worth a detour to eat here. Check the hours before you go; it closed at 3 pm the day we scrambled to get there in time.
